BATTERY: troubleshooting (1/2)
To avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any consumers (cour- tesy lights, etc.) are switched off
before disconnecting or reconnect-
ing the battery;
– when charging, stop the charger before connecting or disconnecting
the battery;
– to avoid creating a short circuit be- tween the terminals, do not place
metal objects on the battery;
– always wait at least one minute after the engine has been switched off
before disconnecting a battery;
– make sure that you reconnect the battery terminals after refitting.
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water and consult a
doctor, if necessary.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
The engine may be hot during oper-
ations in close proximity. In addition,
the engine cooling fan may start to
operate at any moment. Risk of se-
rious injury.
Certain batteries may have
specific recharging require-
ments; consult your au-
thorised dealer. Avoid any
risk of sparks, as this could cause
a sudden explosion, and always
charge the battery in a well-venti-
lated area. Risk of serious injury.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com-
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery when the
engine is running. Follow the instruc-
tions given by the manufacturer of
the battery charger you are using.
When many accessories are fitted to
the vehicle, have them connected to
the + after ignition feed.
